Watched Finding 'Ohana (2021) from letterboxd.com
Two Brooklyn siblings' summer in a rural Oahu town takes an exciting turn when a journal pointing to long-lost treasure sets them on an adventure, leading them to reconnect with their Hawaiian heritage.

This works for me across the board. Whether as a Goonies homage, a weird anti-tourism commentary, family bonding drama or a fun family film.

It is WAY too long but, for me, there were some moments that made that worthwhile.

My review

Spent about an hour this morning trying to fetch data from an API in JS. It wasn’t working in jsfiddle (or similiar) and I wasn’t get any useful error messages. The code worked, just didn’t like the API. Turns out CQC didn’t plan on anyone using JS – “CORS header ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’ missing”.

For my RSS to micropub implementation I needed to generate a decent slug in JS. I found this slugify.js gist by codeguy to which a coder called thierryc made some really nice modifications (but weirdly didn’t publish their own that I could find).

I tested thierry’s code in jsfiddle and found it left a trailing ‘-‘. Using the fiddle I was able to step through the code and see where it went wrong. I just added an extra replace and it worked for me.

I’ve never really found a use for jsfiddle or gists before so this felt good.

After that, if I never have to deal with any JS again in my life it might be too soon!
